Co-occurrence of ecologically similar species of Hawaiian spiders reveals critical early phase of adaptive radiation
(2018-06-19)
Background:
The processes through which populations originate and diversify ecologically in the initial stages of adaptive radiation are little understood because we lack information on critical steps of early divergence. ...
Epigenome-Wide Analyses Identify Two Novel Associations With Recurrent Stroke in the Vitamin Intervention for Stroke Prevention Clinical Trial Citation metadata
(2018-09-06)
DNA methylation, a well-characterized epigenetic modification that is influenced by both environment and genetic variation, has previously been implicated in a number of complex diseases, including cardiovascular disease ...
Step-wise evolution of complex chemical defenses in millipedes: a phylogenomic approach
(2018-02-16)
With fossil representatives from the Silurian capable of respiring atmospheric oxygen, millipedes
are among the oldest terrestrial animals, and likely the first to acquire diverse and complex chemical defenses against ...
Sexually Dimorphic Venom Proteins in Long-Jawed Orb-Weaving Spiders ( Tetragnatha) Comprise Novel Gene Families
(2018-06-01)
Venom has been associated with the ecological success of many groups of organisms, most notably reptiles, gastropods, and arachnids. In some cases, diversification has been directly linked to tailoring of venoms for dietary ...
FUSTr: a tool to find gene families under selection in transcriptomes
(2018-01-17)
Background. The recent proliferation of large amounts of biodiversity transcriptomic
data has resulted in an ever-expanding need for scalable and user-friendly tools capable
of answering large scale molecular evolution ...
